•Wireless Zone – This attribute determines which zones are to have wireless devices. This allows the panel to gen- erate a low battery trouble and zone supervisories for the wireless zones.

NOTE: Any zone with the wireless attribute enabled will not cause an alarm for a fault condition when armed (or any time for 24-hour zones).

5.5Communicator – Dialing

If the Communicator Disable option is selected, the panel will not attempt to call central station. If communication is enabled, the panel will attempt to call central station when an event with a valid reporting code occurs. (See 5.8 “Communi- cator – Reporting Codes” on page 17.)

The Communicator Call Direction options are used to select which telephone number the panel will dial when an event occurs.

If the DTMF Dialing option is enabled, the panel will dial using DTMF (touch tone). If the Switch to Pulse Dial option is enabled, the panel will switch to pulse dialing on the fifth attempt to call the central station. When this option is dis- abled, the panel will always dial using DTMF. If DTMF Dialing is disabled, the panel will always pulse dial.

If the Busy Tone Detection option is enabled, the panel will hang up after detecting busy tone for 5 seconds and will redial after the amount of time programmed in the Delay Between Dialing Attempts section.

Maximum Dialing Attempts determines the maximum num- ber of attempts the panel will make to send a signal to the central station before indicating a Failure to Communicate (FTC) trouble condition. The 3rd Telephone Number can be used to back up the 1st in this situation. (See 5.7 “Communi- cator – Telephone Numbers” on page 17.) If a later communi- cation attempt is successful, the FTC reporting code(s) programmed in section [351] will be transmitted along with the unreported events from an earlier unsuccessful communica- tion.

Post Dial Wait for Handshake determines the amount of time the panel will wait for a valid handshake from the receiver. If the panel does not hear the handshake it will consider the call a failed attempt, hang up and try again.

NOTE: Contact your local telephone company to confirm which settings should be used.

5.7Communicator – Telephone Numbers

The panel can use three different telephone numbers for com- municating with the central station. The First Telephone Number is the primary number, the Second Telephone Num- ber is the secondary number and the Third Telephone Num- ber will back up the First telephone number if enabled.

NOTE: The Third Telephone Number will NOT back up the Second Telephone Number.

NOTE: If you enter a telephone number section (sections

[301]- [303]) at an LED keypad, pressing [#] will delete the pro- grammed telephone number and change all the digits to [F].

If the Alternate Dial option is enabled, the panel will alternate between the first and third telephone numbers when attempt- ing to call the central station. If the option is disabled, the panel will only attempt to call the Third telephone number after failing to communicate with the first telephone number.

NOTE: To use the Third Telephone Number, you must enable it in section [380], option [5], and program it in section [303].

NOTE: Telephone numbers can be up to 32 digits. This allows you to add special digits if required. To program the telephone number, enter the numbers 0 through 9 as required. The fol- lowing is a list of programmable HEX digits and the functions they perform:

HEX (B) - simulates the [*] key on a touch tone telephone HEX (C) - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone telephone HEX (D) - forces the panel to search for dial tone

HEX (E) - forces the panel to pause for 2 seconds HEX (F) - marks the end of the telephone number NOTE: The first digit of all telephone numbers must be the

HEX digit ‘D’ for dial tone search, or HEX digit ‘E’ for a two-sec- ond pause.

Two-way Voice Monitoring

The PC5928 module has built-in two-way voice for central sta- tion monitoring. The central station can select the audio sta- tion, listen/talk, extend on-line time and hang up.The Listen-In feature can be enabled separately for telephone numbers 1/3 and 2.
